2. Acura NSX (1991-2001)

Honda seems resigned to building solid but snoozy cars after discontinuing the S2000. Missed even more is the Acura NSX. With Ferrari as its benchmark, Acura successfully rocked the automotive world a couple decades back, confusing a few enthusiasts in the process. Exotics aren’t Japanese. They don’t run reliably. And they sure as hell don’t outrun European cars. The NSX was and did. These days, seek first-gen 1991-2001 cars; they’re the most affordable and still the best value.
